Does anyone know of a way to feed images from an instagram account to a webpage?
I have a client with a 4x3 grid of instagram images in a design and I am actually stumped. There is the instagram api but it would require a proxy and also it looks like they are slowly removing it from existance: https://www.instagram.com/developer/
Other than that I can't find anything except embed codes for individual posts. I can't believe that this isn't possible. what am I missing?
The Instagram API has definitely become a lot more restricted than it was a couple of years ago. Would a pre-built solution not work for you? Just embedding an Instagram Widget on the client's website to display the photos in a grid?
Disclaimer: I built an app that does Instagram feed embedding, so would love to recommend it. But can also give you some pointers in working with the API if you need.
I'm waiting for the client to accept the invite to my app so I can try it but it looks like it's going to work. You really have to jump through hoops to find the UserId, ClientId, and accessToken.
and the UserId is in the settings for the client that you have to create.
The app can only run in sandbox mode until approved by instagram.
Also I guess any accounts who's images you want to access need to be added as users to the app and they have to accept the invite before you can access their stuff.
It seams like a lot of effort for some pictures but what the heck. At least the code you shared works.
